Abstract
In an information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure, when moving objects scheduled to pass through a predetermined road section are detected, the types of the detected moving objects are specified. Thus, an estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section is calculated. Then, the number and/or the types of lanes to be formed in the predetermined road section are set based on the estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising a controller including at least one processor,
- the controller configured to execute:
- detecting moving objects that are scheduled to pass through a predetermined road section;
- specifying types of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- calculating an estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- and
- setting at least one of a number and types of lanes to be formed in the predetermined road section based on the estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section.
An information processing method for causing a computer to execute:
- a detection step of detecting moving objects that are scheduled to pass through a predetermined road section;
- a specification step of specifying types of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- a calculation step of calculating an estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- and
- a setting step of setting at least one of a number and types of lanes to be formed in the predetermined road section based on the estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section.
An information processing system comprising:
- a road marking device arranged in a predetermined road section and configured to change positions and a number of lanes to be formed in the predetermined road section by forming road markings indicating demarcation lines at optional positions;
- a display device arranged in the predetermined road section and configured to display regulatory signs for regulating types of lanes to be formed in the predetermined road section;
- and
- an information processing apparatus for controlling the road marking device and the display device;
- wherein the information processing apparatus comprising a controller including at least one processor,
- the controller configured to execute:
- detecting moving objects that are scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- specifying types of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- calculating an estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section;
- and
- setting a number and types of the lanes to be formed in the predetermined road section by changing the positions and number of the road markings to be formed by the road marking device and by changing the regulatory signs to be displayed by the display device, based on the estimated traffic volume for each type of the moving objects scheduled to pass through the predetermined road section.
